Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Learning from the local: the variety and spatial pattern of vocal mimicry in songs of the invasive white-rumped shama in Taiwan

Royal Society Open Science
Studying the model selection, especially in multiple heterospecific mimicry, is crucial for understanding the function of vocal mimicry. Invasive songbirds with large repertoires in novel auditory environments lacking conspecifics expand their ...

POSTCOLONIALISM /POSTCOMMUNISM: SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES: THE ROMANIAN CASE [PDF]

University of Bucharest Review. Literary and Cultural Studies Series, 2011
The paper starts by showing that the liminality and hybridity that Bhaba finds characteristic of the postcolonial subject also perfectly illustrates the situation in postcommunist states.

Ploidy differences represent an impassable barrier for hybridization. Is there an exception among botiid loaches (Cypriniformes: Botiidae)?

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2015
One of the most efficient mechanisms to keep animal lineages separate is a difference in ploidy level, since hybrid offspring from parents with different ploidy level are generally sterile.

Auditory Contagious Yawning Is Highest Between Friends and Family Members: Support to the Emotional Bias Hypothesis

Frontiers in Psychology, 2020
Contagious yawning differs from spontaneous yawning because it occurs when an individual yawns in response to someone else’s yawn. In Homo sapiens and some non-human primates contagious yawning is higher between strongly than weakly bonded individuals ...

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Tumor angiogenesis and anti-angiogenic therapy in malignant gliomas revisited [PDF]

, 2012
The cellular and molecular mechanisms of tumor angiogenesis and its prospects for anti-angiogenic cancer therapy are major issues in almost all current concepts of both cancer biology and targeted cancer therapy. Currently, (1) sprouting angiogenesis, (2)

Cotargeting TREM2 and IL2 pathways triggers multipronged anticancer immunity

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Von Locquenghien et al. report that MiTE‐144, a triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) blocking antibody fused to interleukin‐2 (IL2) variant with tumour microenvironment restricted activation, demonstrates superior anticancer efficiency in a preclinical setting.

Mimicry and masquerade from the avian visual perspective

Current Zoology, 2012
Several of the most celebrated examples of visual mimicry, like mimetic eggs laid by avian brood parasites and pala­table insects mimicking distasteful ones, involve signals directed at the eyes of birds.
